A look to remember
Mazzucchelli acetate - a fusion of style & durability
Our cellulose acetate is supplied by Mazzucchelli 1849, the no. 1 acetate producer located in Varese, Italy. Less than 4km away, the raw slabs are masterfully shaped into timeless, durable, and hypoallergenic frames by our team at La Giardiniera.
Zeiss lenses - always wear protection
You don’t just wear sunglasses for their look, but also to protect yourself. Continuous exposure to UV rays can inflict lasting damage on your eyes. To merge beauty with safety, we opted for Zeiss CR39 lenses, which are ISO and ANSI certified. They are light, impact and scratch resistant, and gorgeous to look through.
Visottica hinges - perfection is in the details
Hinges are an essential component to the longevity of your sunglasses. Ours are from Visottica, an Italian specialist with 70+ years of experience. We’ve had a long discussion with La Giardiniera about whether to use 3-, 5-, or 7-barrel hinges. We’ve jointly decided to use 5-barrel hinges because they are far sturdier than the 3-barrel and still only trade-off a little robustness vs the 7-barrel in favor of higher adjustability and repairability.
La Giardiniera’s touch - handmade in Varese
Producing high-quality sunglasses requires top-notch machinery, skillful hands, and an eye for design. Where else to look for these characteristics if not at an Italian manufacturer with a long tradition of craftsmanship and production powered 100% by renewable energy.
Fedon cases - preserving both sunglasses & environment
For the case and cloth, we’ve doubled down on sustainability. Produced by the Italian company Fedon, the cases are made of 76% bonded leather byproducts and 24% natural rubber. The inner lining is made from recycled fishing nets. The cloth is made from recycled polyester. Fedon processes these raw materials in their most advanced facility in Romania.
